Growing in Faith, Strengthened by the Holy Spirit
The Sacrament of Confirmation strengthens a young person's relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. Through the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit — wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord — young people are encouraged to grow in faith, make good choices, and live with courage, love, and confidence.
Confirmation is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of a deeper commitment to Christ. Supported by their families and parish community, young people are invited to grow in prayer, serve others, and put Jesus' teachings into practice in everyday life.
A Journey of Faith for the Whole Family
Parents and families play an important role in supporting young people as they grow in faith. Through prayer, participation in Mass, and everyday acts of kindness, we can help them discover what it means to follow Jesus.
Our parish community is here to accompany your family on this journey. We look forward to welcoming your family!
